| Lil' Dave Thompson Performs at Blueport Junction for MVBS Xmas Party |
 Lil' Dave Thompson This year will feature one of the best of the next generation of the blues, Lil Dave Thompson. David Lonzo Thompson is a self-described “third or fourth generation Delta bluesman” whose father played with many of the Delta legends, including Asie Payton and James “Son” Thomas. Lil Dave was born in 1969 in Hinds County, Mississippi, and came up in such legendary locales as Moorhead, Indianola and Leland, Mississippi. He formed his first band at the age of fourteen, later toured with the late, great Booba Barnes, and cut a couple CDs on the Fat Possum label in the mid 1990s, which garnered him two Handy Award nominations. With guitar skills described as part Albert King, part Little Milton, this young man is sure to take your mind off the old red and green, and get it back where it belongs, in the blues. Blueport Junction is located on W. River Drive (US 61), just east of the intersection with I-280. The starting times hadn’t quite been nailed down as this goes to press, but you can figure the festivities will get rolling around seven or eight, and the music will start shortly thereafter. The cover charge will be $5.00 and we’ll be offering various in-house discounts, giveaways, raffles and door prizes for MVBS members. |
